Alternative or polyfill for Array.from on the Internet Explorer

Question

I have a problem with my Angular App on the Internet Explorer. It runs everywhere without a problem (Chrome, Mozilla, Edge), but on on the IE.

I have analyzed with th

Answer 1

The first CORRECT answer here and for MDN

Original poster of question wrote:

What I am doing there is that I have a Set() named tmp ...

But we have here 3 answers for already more than 4 years and nobody has tested it with a Set object.
The huge polyfill from MDN does not work with Set object!

It was copied from MDN and pasted into the accepted answer without testing.

My polyfill solution is also much shorter than incorrect and huge polyfill from MDN.

In the following solution you will find the explanation about the function(s) and their parameters in comments.

/**
 * @param "arr" (required) - array-like or iterable object to convert it to an array.
 * @param "callbackFn" (optional) - function to call on every element of the array.
 * @param "thisArg" (optional) - value to use as this when executing callback
 * Return value - new Array instance
 *
 * The callbackFn argument usage is like in Array.map() callback.
 * The callbackFn function accepts the following arguments:
 *      @param "currentValue" (required) - the current element being processed in the array.
 *      @param "index" (optional) - the index of the current element being processed in the array.
 *      @param "array" (optional) - he array map was called upon.
 * Callback function that is called for every element of "arr". Each time callback executes, the returned value is added to new array ("arNew").
 */
function arrayFrom(arr, callbackFn, thisArg)
{
    //if you need you can uncomment the following line
    //if(!arr || typeof arr == 'function')throw new Error('This function requires an array-like object - not null, undefined or a function');

    var arNew = [],
        k = [], // used for convert Set to an Array
        i = 0;

    //if you do not need a Set object support then
    //you can comment or delete the following if statement
    if(window.Set && arr instanceof Set)
    {
        //we use forEach from Set object
        arr.forEach(function(v){k.push(v)});
        arr = k
    }

    for(; i < arr.length; i++)
        arNew[i] = callbackFn
            ? callbackFn.call(thisArg, arr[i], i, arr)
            : arr[i];

    return arNew
}

//You could also use it without the following line, but it is not recommended because native function is faster.
Array.from = Array.from || arrayFrom; //We set it as polyfill

//HOW TO USE IT:

function myCallback1(x){return x+x}

function myCallback2(o){return o.innerHTML}

var str = 'Super!',
    array = str.split(''),//['S','u','p','e','r','!']
    arrayLike1 = window.Set ? new Set(str) : array, //array for IE < 10. Only 11 version of IE supports Set.
    arrayLike2 = document.querySelectorAll('b');//NodeList
    arrayLike3 = document.getElementsByTagName('b');//HTMLCollection

console.log(arrayFrom(str).join(','));//S,u,p,e,r,!
console.log(arrayFrom(array).join(','));//S,u,p,e,r,!
console.log(arrayFrom(str, myCallback1).join(','));//SS,uu,pp,ee,rr,!!
console.log(arrayFrom(arrayLike1, myCallback1).join(','));//SS,uu,pp,ee,rr,!!
console.log(arrayFrom(arrayLike2, myCallback2).join(','));//aaa,bbb
console.log(arrayFrom(arrayLike3, myCallback2).join(','));//aaa,bbb
//You can also use it as polyfill:
console.log(Array.from(str).join(','));//S,u,p,e,r,!

aaa bbb

Do not forget that a Set has unique values! For example:

//Only 11 version of IE and all modern browsers support Set.
var ar = [];
new Set('mama').forEach(function(v){ar.push(v)});
console.log(ar.join(',')); // 'm','a'
